Mentors
Students in 5th and 6th grades will have the opportunity to serve as mentors to the younger bands throughout the year. This requires them to come to the Tuesday and Friday morning rehearsals, or at least one of those rehearsals week. They will also be expected to attend the concerts for that group.
Student mentors help to setup and cleanup rehearsals, setup technology, hand out music, and help students find stands and chairs. They also play along with the ensemble, providing a good musical example for the younger students.
Last year we had 13 mentors that volunteered and had a wonderfully rewarding experience. I hope to find a new crop of student mentors for this year.
